On your calendars! The year 2022 has barely begun that it is already time to think about his future … vacation. And when it comes to statutory holidays, it’s a bit like the lottery every year. There are between seven and ten public holidays excluding weekends each year, recalls Le Monde. However – you will be disappointed – 2022 will not be a favorable year for employees since only seven public holidays fall during the week. Franceinfo gives you the calendar for this year in detail.
The bridges that you will be able to do in 2022
In detail, you will have the opportunity to enjoy a three-day weekend four times a year with:
• Easter weekend with Monday April 18 which will be a public holiday.
• The weekend of Pentecost with Monday June 6 which remains unworked in a number of companies.
• The weekend of the Assumption with Monday August 15.
• The weekend of November 11 with Friday November 11.
To this is added three four-day weekends (on condition of taking leave or RTT to bridge the gap):
• Ascension weekend with the Thursday May 26 bank holiday. It will be necessary to pose on Friday May 27th.
• The weekend of July 14 since the national holiday falls on a Thursday. It will therefore be necessary to pose on Friday July 15.
• The weekend of November 1st since All Saints’ Day falls on a Tuesday. It’s up to you, therefore, to ask on Monday, October 31 to benefit from a long weekend.
